Australia's Albanese downplays Netanyahu's criticism as ties sour

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has responded diplomatically to criticism from Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, following Australia's decision to conditionally recognise a Palestinian state at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly. Albanese emphasized his respectful approach to international relations and noted that Netanyahu has made similar remarks about other leaders. The dispute has led to further deterioration in relations, with Israel revoking visas for Australian diplomats after Australia cancelled the visa of an Israeli lawmaker over controversial comments. The tensions come amid ongoing international scrutiny of Israel's military actions in Gaza, which have resulted in significant civilian casualties and displacement.
